Summer School 2019: Transformative Human-Environment Research & Participatory Methods: From Co-production to Co-producing
Monday 16 – Saturday 21 September 2019
Human-environment research is the interdisciplinary study of how humans live in, affect, govern, reflect upon and perceive their natural environment, and how, in turn, that environment supports or constrains human life and culture. Researchers are increasingly mandated to engage more actively with politics and the plurality of epistemologies and perspectives on these challenges that exist in society. So, how may human-environment research take an active role in transformative research for and with society? This is the overall question for this summer school which will be addressed by applying science and technology studies (STS) and political ecology perspectives to participants’ own cases as well as getting first hands-on experience with transdisciplinary research methods.
Electron Microscopy course – The Basics: from A to W
Monday 23 - Friday 27 September 2019
Electron Microscopy (EM) has rapidly developed as a powerful research tool for high-resolution imaging, leading to high-ranking papers, a Nobel price and recently in The Netherlands to a big NWO award. New, more powerful electron microscopes and the possibility to work at very low temperatures (cryo-EM), have made it possible to achieve atomic resolutions. During this course, you will be introduced to all these novel developments.

 

Postgraduate courses organised by other Graduate Schools

Below, you can find the links to the course information pages of some of the graduate schools that PE&RC frequently co-organises courses with. Please go ahead and browse through their websites as well, to see whether there are any interesting courses organised by these graduate schools.

Links to other places where postgraduate courses are organised

We sometimes also receive suggestions from our members about places where they have found and/or attended interesting and high quality postgraduate courses. We list these suggestions here, just for people to browse through.

Online courses

Particularly for statistical or methodological courses, we see an added value in taking one or more online courses. We are currently not actively organising such courses ourselves, but you are generally referred to places like www.coursera.org for browsing through a very broad range of online courses. If you have doubts about the quality, applicability, or value of a certain online course for your development, we strongly urge you to check this with your supervisory team, but you are also most welcome to consult us for checking this.
